Standards shape the technologies we design, build, and rely on every day—yet few engineers truly understand how they come to life. Who drives their creation? Are they legally binding or voluntary? Do they apply globally? And how can you become part of the process and help shape the next generation of innovation? What qualifications are required to join a standards working group? Join us for an engaging session that answers these questions and more, exploring the how and why behind standards development and the critical role IEEE plays in this global effort. The talk will also spotlight IEEE standards activities in manufacturing and power systems—areas of particular relevance to the IEEE Northeastern Wisconsin Section and its members. https://www.ieee.org/northeastern-wisconsin/ Speaker(s): Balaji Sankarshanan Agenda: 5:00 Featured Speaker - Balaji Sankarshanan D.J.
